Growcology: Propagation House

We received 600 dollars from BWB, of which 500 was spent on our shade cloth. We purchased it locally through Simm’s Tree Farm, an education center like ours here in Riverside. They installed it for free, and donated the cabling to hang it, and we’re working on securing more funds to build a permanent wooden frame for it to prevent drooping and hang our irrigation system off of. For now though, it’s working great, giving our seedlings a cool place to grow and allowing us a head start on spring planting.

We spent the other 100 dollars on seeds from seedsavers.org. Due to the large number of plants we’re planting to support our own and other gardens, we spent more than the $100 BWB donated and used money from our workshops to cover the rest. We’re very passionate about growing heirloom species, and are going to be doing as much as we can to encourage all the citizens we interact with and gardens we support to use high quality, non-GMO seeds.
